Common. Normal. Do the research.

Itâs called nature.

When the clip first came on I am thinking "Portuguese Man-o-war and do not touch". I had a 1/4 inch piece of tentacle fall on my arm and I thought it was burning a hole to the other side. These little dudes are OK.

I was just at the beach yesterday, in Florence, Oregon, and I saw the same thing all over the beach there. It looks a bit like dragonfly wings but some of them are the blue color of mussel shells. It smelled really strongly of old fish.

Letting my ducks get too close? Who takes their ducks to the beach?

This happened all the time in Hawaii. Usually right after a full moon. Portuguese man o war.

The reporter's accent makes this story worthwhile.
